Comment(by strk):

 The specs say that ST_GetFaceGeometry should use ST_GetFaceEdges to
 construct the face, and the description of ST_GetFaceEdges does not say
 anything special about the universal face.

 I don't see NULL being returned, but a multipolygon, where each "hole" in
 the universal face is represented as a polygon. This is equivalent to the
 union of all faces.

 If not backed up by specs, do we still want to throw an exception here ?
